I don't know why anybody thought this was a good idea.
Nobody did, Raimi ruined the movie on purpose because Sony executives wanted Venom in the movie and Raimi didn't

Looks really sweet. Hopefully it can be the first film to actually capture the essence of Spider-Man. I disliked the casting of Maguire in the first trilogy and the first ASM wasn't all that but this looks nice.
Yeah. After watching the Superbowl one, I already left like I've seen 50% of the movie. I'm sure this final trailer is even worse. No watch, but nice to read positive comments about it hear.
Not a fan of the first film and I don't except this one to be a Oscar-worthy movie either, but I think it'll be a really fun one.
I got to side with Sony on this one. They wanted an A tier villain in the movie while Raimi seemed insistent on using B and C level Spidey villains (he wanted Vulture for Spidey 4).
Whaaaaaa?

Same here, sounds like Raimi was a little whiney bitch who couldn't do the job he was paid to do, instead threw a tantrum and nose dived the movie. I still can't believe there are people (even on gaf) who claim Spidey 3 was a good movie. It honestly feels like an intentional train wreck.
right? 3 pages in and not one "give the rights back to marvel!!!" comment yet!

Looks like a good time. I should probably watch the first one.
that first one is cutting it close but I would say no, but yeah I missed the second one. =( oh well it was fun while it lasted

Well, they haven't show something that makes me puke like Fox's Quicksilver, more importantly Marvel doesn't share rights and showed something that's way better than what Sony's doing with the movie
Honestly, Spidey 3 made me retroactively hate Spidey 2. A few of the elements that made Spidey 3 suck are right there in Spidey 2.
The reason I think Spidey 1 is the best of the Raimi trilogy is because that movie is still "Spider-Man directed by Sam Raimi". The sequels turn into "A Sam Raimi movie featuring Spider-Man"
Bwahahahaha
I don't know what's better, that there's a gif of the very thing I'm talking about. Or that it's set to one of my favorite movies ever.
To be fair I still really like Spider-Man 1 even if it feels pretty dated now, and Spidey 2 is still watchable.

I love this gif. Spider-Man 3 truly sucked, and I was so hyped for it too. I remember hating Eddie Brock in the movie and when he went to the church I thought that finally they would redeem his shittyness. No begging god for forgiveness for committing suicide there though, no sir. Just further shitting on the character when he begs god to kill Peter Parker.
That fucking movie.
I don't know, I didn't really like the first one. But this looks like it has some good action (liked him putting his finger over his webshooter to manipulate the stream). Effects look greatly improved. Story seems to justify the multiple villains (unlike Spidey 3 which just kind of had villains...because...reasons). Could be good.

Screw Marvel. The scenes in this trailer show better action than anything Marvel has ever done.

Hold on. I'll give you that Spider-Man 3 was a cheesefest, but do you honestly think that anything from Spider-Man 1 or 2 was as cheesy as the "move the cranes" scene from ASM?

"You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!" on the bridge
Also Spider-Jesus at the end of the train scene where everyone's all "HEY WE WON'T TELL ANYONE WHO YOU ARE"

I've seen trailers better than this for comic book movies that turned out pretty bad though.
I dunno. You probably shouldn't. It doesn't really tread any new ground and is edited so heavily that some things just don't make sense. Reading a plot summary and watching the fight scene in the high school is probably a more reasonable waste of your time.

I thought Raimi wanted Morbius for 4? He wanted to go darker, I thought.
Well, maybe they have more of a plan how the future movies will work. I think they kept shifting gears, changing plans for ASM, so it was very unfocused. Since they have more of an idea how this will fit into the sequels (although the firing of "Mary Jane" shows it took some time to get there), maybe the story and everything will be more coherent. I'm willing to give it a try -- just not in the theater.

I'll admit it. That web design joke made me laugh. Still not fully on the hype for this movie but it looks to have some potential.

Action looks fun.
Electro to still have shitty motivation?
Potentially.

Good points. Both valid. But I still don't think they rise to the "move the cranes" from ASM. The added layer of cheese of Spider-Man rescuing the crane operator's kid during the bridge scene, only to have him later be in a position to help Spider-Man by moving all the cranes (and seriously, how the hell does he know every crane operator from every construction company in the city?) pushes it over the top for me. At least Spider-Man 1 and 2's cheesy scenes were kind of "in the moment."

I love Pokken!
That last part reminds me of the moment Lex Luthor takes the Flash's body on the Justice League cartoon
OF COURSE you will not tell who he is ... because YOU HAVE NO IDEA who he is =P
Both very good points but nothing compares to that crane scene. When you stop in the middle of a comic book movie with a giant lizard and say "well that'd never happen" then something's wrong.
But that was the only part of that movie I took any REAL issue with. I thought the movie was fine.
I like how the movie only now mentions that Harry and Peter had some kind of backstory despite it never being hinted before in the previous movie. Shows how much thought they're putting into it and how they're rushing these villains out.
Say what you want about Spider-Man 3 but Harry finally turning into a villain was one of the better parts of it after having already spent two movies with him.
As cheesy as those scenes were, they worked. Especially in the context of the movies. The former benefited from the fact that before that point in the movie, Spider-Man's reputation with the people was ambiguous, and the people were aware of what would happen if he failed. In the case of the latter it reinforces the sentiment of how valued the character is despite how unassuming the truth is. Turns out he's just an average college student, and despite that he carries the weight of their lives and the city on his shoulders.
In TASM it's just some guy who coincidentally has connections to every crane operator who are all conveniently placed on a straight street. And they band together in the nick of time to help Spidey do... something to a giant Lizard climbing an evacuated tower. And the movie finally pretends like Spider-Man's web swinging points finally matters despite it never being an issue before.
The cheesiness isn't the issue, context is.

Vulture... WHY? He's just an old man with wings.
In later renditions, the Vulture is a supergenius dude who manipulates gravity via the Vulture costume.
In Superior Spider-Man, he was also quite evil.
He is, of course, kinda goofy though so I'm not sure he'd work in a film, but he's not Swordman or Foolkiller levels of "no powers ever".

The cheese was always there. We just weren't looking.

If you get the right actor and put him in a suit similar to the Falcon in Cap 2 I don't think people would be that put off.

I wish the Vulture had been included in a Spiderman film pre-2008 so George Carlin could have played him...
